LOLIONDO COMMUNITY PROJECT
Nomad Tanzania, and The Nomad Trust, works closely with communities in the Loliondo area: Ololosokwan and Piyaya, two villages that we have had close ties with for a number of years. Through donations and company contributions, we have targeted education as one of the prime areas where a difference can be made. In addition, in partnership with Piyaya village, we have contributed 50% of the Women’s Home Industry Fund, which loans out money to women to help them start up a self-sufficient home industry of their choice. In Ololosokwan, we have purchased over $1,000 worth of school books, and kept their school landcruiser rolling with mechanical input and spares. Along with other stakeholders who operate in the area, the camping fees that guests at Nomad’s safari camps pay, go to the fund, which so far has helped to send over 70 children to secondary school.
